Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we have been upgrading our computer systems and we continue to do so. One of the problems we find is we are still pulling back departments into an area where we can use the same platforms, as they say, in the computer world and have systems talk to each other. Still, the fact remains that even though it's in the system, when a retroactive agreement is reached we have to go back in the file. Depending on the timeline that's involved and how many changes the position has taken, whether it's acting, a new pay level or up to a new pay range, there are many factors that have to go into it such as overtime, acting pay and casual pay. We have to look at all those things and make those adjustments to the point of the date the agreement was reached. We have been doing our work. It's been slow. We have been understaffed over the summer. My understanding is we are back up to staffing levels. We had to hire more people and we've done that, but that is within the existing arrangements we've had and resources we had. Thank you.
